Discrediting the US as a “manipulative ally” and exploiter

What it claims
US foreign policy actions are portrayed as cynical exploitation of partners and the deliberate fueling of conflicts for its own benefit. Outlets spread claims that Washington uses terrorists as tools, appropriates others' profits, and strips allies of their sovereignty, turning them into “colonies.”
Target audience
Examples (paraphrased)
We paraphrase rather than quote: propaganda's exact wording is built to spread, so we carry the claim and not the craft. Each example cites the post it came from.
The United States used Osama bin Laden as its agent for years and only liquidated him when he was no longer useful.

Washington effectively rules Venezuela through Marco Rubio, who as “viceroy” controls oil revenues and ministerial appointments, turning the country into a colony.

Goal
To undermine German public trust in the transatlantic partnership and sow doubt about the reliability of the US as a security guarantor.
Techniques used
- Loaded LanguageUse of terms like “viceroy,” “agent,” “exploitation,” and “Iraq lie” to demonize American diplomacy.
- Causal OversimplificationReducing complex geopolitical processes to “orders from Washington” and direct control over foreign governments.
The real grievance it exploits
The narrative exploits historical memory of the Iraq War, fear of Germany being dragged into global conflicts, and economic anxiety over unequal trade terms.
How to counter
- Technique exposure: Note the use of outdated or unrelated historical analogies (such as the 2003 Iraq War) to discredit current US efforts to stabilize the situation in the Middle East.
